Abstract

Panic, social phobia and agoraphobia are common problems, for which cognitive-behavioural interventions are particularly suitable. Walk Free is a comprehensive service for such sufferers, incorporating assessment by psychologists, home visiting, self-help activities, and support groups. It has expanded rapidly within Cardiff, where there are now four Walk Free centres, and it has seen over 300 sufferers over a three-year period.
